A first class garden plant! Well branched, erect spikes covered in large 4cm (1½in) pure white flowers, over a long period. An incredibly beautiful plant for the back of borders, seldom requiring support.
Sow April to May at 20-30C (68-86F) on the surface of a good free-draining, damp seed compost. Cover with a fine sprinkling of compost or vermiculite. Place in a propagator or seal container inside a polythene bag until after germination which usually takes 14-30 days. Do not exclude light at any stage as this is beneficial to germination.
Remove faded flower spikes regularly.
